why not a car subforum?

[claWda]

didn't know where to post this, saw one subforum but it had like 500 posts in it total so I figured not many people would read, but since it concerns the "inorganic forum", I thought this would be the proper place to post this

to the point, I'm amazed moderators haven't already created a car subforum, I like threedy, the people who post here, the models etc, and I even like most the cars but I just can't stand there being like 2 new car threads every day. Out of every 10 WIP:s 1 is interesting and fresh. The other 9 are...cars. cars cars cars.

I know it sounds like I'm whining, but think about it, I've seen users here passively complain that all people model are cars, so why not filter that and create an entire subforum for cars?

other vehicles, like planes, shuttles, robots whatever could still be posted here, cause they're not as common, but everything that has 4 wheels and a steering wheel should be posted elsewhere

I know this might offend some, and seing how some of the mods are great carmodelers, I don't really think they will listen to this, but as I, and many others see it, it's a very natural thing to do, give the car modelers their own subforum

oh well, bye

great idea.
the car threads seem to be frequented most (in the inorganic WIP-forum).
I m not a car-modeller. Made some cars, but got bored after finishing the 4th.
Im more a sci-fi-modeller but my threads never get as much posts as i wanted them to get (an my work is not the worst).
All those Car-Threads have such a enormous Post-frequency, that a typical non-car-thread is going to be on the 2nd Page after a few hours.

just my 2 cents (and a bit of the worst english existing )

ya ,they need a sep. thread for cars, i lik to se the othe things in 'inorganic' forum other than the cars

[bullethead]

I do agree about there being a big group of people that are making cars. A sub forum wouldnt be such a bad idea, would give a chance for other threads to shine. I have nothing against the people that make cars since I do as well, but Im making an army tank for a change so why not post in it if you dont like seeing all the cars threads...lol...links in my signature for the russian isu-152

i do agree with blackwolf....although im not a frequent work poster here but i do think those who like to do other stuff than cars should post here as much as they can...u see with the amount of car WIPs here (and damn good models as well) no wonder so many modellers out there get inspired and model even more cars....plus they get good help too from other car modellers....so, i hope to see some other type of transportation/machinery if not inorganic models ... cheers

?????

lol

anyway there was a discussion over having a car subforum before it was split into inorganic and organic i think the moderators decided against a car forum on the basis of having to many or something like that, although it could be a subforum to the inorganic forum? the only problem is the work generated for the mods in sorting all the posts ever made for cars and putting them in there

[claWda]

I knew people agreed, but blackwolf I see your point there, but how about letting all the cars that have already begun stay here and every new car should be created in a separate car forum?

the reason I bring this up now is, I see some great renders and some really skilled people getting like 1-2 replies while others, who suprisingly create cars, have a reply counts up to 10-20 just for showing a simple shape, and I find that VERY hilarious but also kinda sad.

Good artist with imagination don't get the attention they deserve, and when their threads disappear as quickly as they were created, what do you think the odds are that they will post here again?

Just for the record, it's happened to me like once, but seeing how that render actually sucked I don't blame anyone for not replying lol, so this is not about me if anyone's wondering.

Finally I would just like to say that on some other swedish forums like www.grafisktforum.org and www.animate.se, artists with imagination get credit for it, and the one key factor is, funny enough, only 10-20 % of the threads are carthreads...

this is the wrong place for this thread, but whatever...

I think it would be great to have a car-forum...
But then again...I would love to see averything catagorized...

I think that the subforum should be for everything else other than cars.. And the bigger forum should be left to car threads, 'cause they are very frequent.

[Marcia]

My question is: would having a separate car forum or sub-forum leach off most of the participants in the regular inorganic forum? Or would you all continue critiquing and posting in both?

[geoMan]

wud be a good idea...there are many car modellers here...but...if it happens...the inorganic forum will be very inactive i reckon!

[T0XIC]

I'm all for a car sub-forum. Given, they do comprise the majority of "inorganic" threads, but they shouldn't dominate the forum either.

[claWda]

well to be honest, I would rarely visit the car forum, if one was to be created, but that just shows how tired I am of all the cars. With 3D you have a chance of using your creativity, I know it's good practice and all and it sure takes lots of skill, but to model a car using blueprints and the same radarhead paintjob over and over again gets old, I mean, how fun can it be??

to people who are not into 3D, they do not get impressed at all when they see 3dcars, that is, unless they have really high class and look very real, what impresses people in general though, are cool scifi environments and different architectural designs, because that's something that could be real, but still isn't.

this is of course just what I think, but to be honest, I'm fed up with 3Dcars, and I know a lot of other people are too. Let's give creative artists the attention they actually deserve, instead of posting the same, sorry, crap over and over again at every single car thread.

hope I'm not offending anyone, not my intention at all, take care

sounds good would be neat
